What is deep listening?

Yes there is another type of listening to think about. The idea of "deep" listening feels intense, purposeful and impactful to me. But my thinking so doesn't make it true. I needed to ask the question.

During the course of this conversation James Blair pointed out that humans can listen at twice the speed we can speak. That means at any moment half your brain's capacity could be wandering off from the conversation.

Having this conversation with thoughtful, intentional people like Jona Ohm, APR, Stewart Wiggins and James Blair made it the perfect place to explore the idea of deep listening while also practicing deep listening.

What does "deep listening" mean to you? How do you know if someone is deep listening to you?
